The Ferguson incident has exposed the underbelly of the United States
and now everyone is starting to pay attention that there is a higher
risk of being killed by police even when they chase or shoot at people
who need not be you. The risk is 800% greater that you will be killed by
POLICE rather than a terrorist. The Economist has reported the death by police so far are ZERO in Japan and Britain, 8 in Germany and 409 in America.

The
Northern Democratic opposition during the war believed that “if the
Republicans continued in power they would ultimately destroy every shred
of democratic choice and free behavior in the name of their conception
of the right.” Ohio political leader Clement Vallandigham said “nothing
but convulsion can come of this despotism,” and if Lincoln were
reelected, “our Republican government is gone, gone, gone, and ere it is
again revived we must pass through anarchy in its worst form.”

“[Clement
Vallandigham of Ohio received support] from leading Democrats of the
North, not only in his own State but from such men as Governor Seymour
and Samuel J. Tilden of New York. We have referred to the plank of the
Democratic platform adopted in 1864, which declared the war a failure,
and it must be added that the convention was run, and the platform
written and adopted, and the nomination made practically at the order of
Vallandigham and his sympathizers.

To
these instances must be added sentiments such as were uttered by
Alexander Long, the Representative of the Second District of Ohio, in
the Thirty-eighth Congress, who boldly defended the cause of the
Confederacy as follows:

“I
now believe that there are but two alternatives, and they are either an
acknowledgement of the independence of the South as an independent
nation, or their complete subjugation and extermination as a people; and
of these alternatives I prefer the former.”

A
resolution was offered for the expulsion of Long, declaring that by his
speech he had given “aid, countenance and encouragement to persons
engaged in armed hostility to the United States.” The debate upon the
resolution was opened by Mr. [James] Garfield of Ohio, then sitting in
the House . . . for his first term [and] fresh from the battlefield of
Chickamauga . . .

In
answering Mr. Garfield, Benjamin G. Harris, of Maryland, said: “The
South asks you to leave them in peace, but now you say you will bring
them into subjection. That is not done yet, and God Almighty grant it
may never be!”

This
was followed by the offering of a resolution for the expulsion of Mr.
Harris [and he subsequently] was declared to be an unworthy member of
the House by a vote of 93 to 18. Fernando Wood, George H. Pendleton,
the candidate for Vice President on the Democratic ticket of 1864, and
Samuel J. Randall, afterwards Democratic Speaker of the House, were
among those who voted in the negative. A resolution was also adopted
declaring Mr. Long an unworthy member of the House.

[The
Thirteenth Amendment prohibiting slavery] had been adopted in the
Senate on April 8, 1864, by a vote of 38 to 6. These six votes were cast
by the two Democratic Senators from Kentucky, the two from Delaware,
and by Mr. McDougall of California, and Mr. Hendricks of Indiana . . .
Every Republican [in the House] without exception voted in the
affirmative [119 to 56], together with sixteen Democrats.

Among
the opposition we find the names of William S. Holman of Indiana, S.S.
Cox, Alexander Long, whose treasonable words had been censured, and
George H. Pendleton of Ohio, W.R. Morrison of Illinois, Samuel J.
Randall of Pennsylvania, and others who afterwards became leaders of the
Democratic party.”

At its zenith, 45 states, four territories, the District of
Columbia, and the Department of Defense had signed on to at least some
aspect of the Common Core State Standards. Thanks to you, that trend is
being reversed.

Glenn Beck was bashing Americans opposed to illegal immigration,
decrying partisan politics, and positioning himself toward the center
just as he was reportedly trying to strike a deal to get his programming
on CNN.

CNN's Brian Stelter reported
that "the idea fizzled fast and talks aren't expected to resume." CNN
and HLN are expected to lay off at least 550 more people in what is
being called another "bloodbath," and Beck was reportedly trying to get on the HLN network, where he got his first break in cable television.

Stelter, who is one of the best-sourced reporters in the television
industry and made a name for himself out-scooping more established
mainstream media reporters, claimed he had no knowledge of the
negotiations whatsoever when he unusually gave Beck two Sundays worth of
relatively good PR, showcasing Beck's Texas offices and future plans.

The IRS filing in federal Judge Emmet Sullivan’s
court reveals shocking new information. The IRS destroyed Lerner’s
Blackberry AFTER it knew her computer had crashed and after a
Congressional inquiry was well underway. As an IRS official declared
under the penalty of perjury, the destroyed Blackberry would have
contained the same emails (both sent and received) as Lois Lerner’s hard
drive.

America's attention recently turned away from the violence in Iraq and
Gaza toward the violence in Ferguson, Missouri, following the shooting
of Michael Brown. While all the facts surrounding the shooing have yet
to come to light, the shock of seeing police using tear gas (a substance
banned in warfare), and other military-style weapons against American
citizens including journalists exercising their First Amendment rights,
has started a much-needed debate on police militarization.

The
increasing use of military equipment by local police is a symptom of
growing authoritarianism, not the cause. The cause is policies that
encourage police to see Americans as enemies to subjugate, rather than
as citizens to "protect and serve." This attitude is on display not only
in Ferguson, but in the police lockdown following the Boston Marathon
bombing and in the Americans killed and injured in "no-knock" raids
conducted by militarized SWAT teams.

"The first link is announcing the plan to
consolidate all of Alabama’s twelve law enforcement agencies under an
umbrella agency that will be known as ALEA. The second link is the STASI
interactive sheet where you can make up stuff and turn your neighbors
in for bogus crimes. I can’t wait until the Facebook crowd melts their
servers with “made Up” stuff to piss off their boyfriends girlfriend or
wives boyfriend homosexual lover, etc. Is it just me or is the patients
running the asylum? It probably will not be long until each county has
their own DHS 'party official' and counties no longer have sheriff’s or
deputies."

A
70-year-old security guard who risked his own life to stop a schoolwide
stabbing spree earlier this year, saving the lives of countless students
in the process, has been fired by the school district for being too
old.

John
Resetar, who is employed by Capital Asset Protection Inc., a
Pittsburgh-area company contracted to provide security to the Franklin
Regional School District, got the shock of his life on August 4 when he
found out his job was being terminated and his services were no longer
needed this school year.

Resetar
got the news in a letter from Jeffrey Dahlke, Capital Asset's regional
security operations manager, which read: 'Franklin Regional and Capital
came to the conclusion that ... it is best ... to relieve you of your
duties at the school.'

The police chief of
West Point, in northern Mississippi, said one man was arrested Monday
and more arrests are expected in a weekend assault that hospitalized a
32-year-old former Marine.

Courtez McMillian,
22, of Okolona, was jailed pending charges of aggravated assault, Police
Chief Tim Brinkley said in a statement. Okolona is about 30 miles north
of West Point, where events unfolded outside two restaurants early
Saturday. Investigators are reviewing video footage from Saturday and
have compiled a list of other possible suspects from a nearby county,
Brinkley said.

Ralph Weems IV of West Point
remained in fair condition Monday, said Marsha Tapscott, a spokeswoman
for North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. She said she could not
comment on a statement by Weems' brother-in-law, Bradley Barnes of
Madison, that Weems had undergone brain surgery.

it now needs to be tested. Hard. Since I am not blessed with a
can, I will require the services of 3 volunteers. I realize that there
will probably be more than 3, and that I will need to make the selection
process as streamlined as possible. And so, below are the
requirements:

Islamic State militants stormed a Syrian airbase over
the weekend, routing the remaining elements of the country’s army from
northern Raqqah province and reportedly seizing a cache
of shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles.

The seizure of Tabqa
air base, while not the first installation of its type to fall to
militants, highlights the Islamic State’s gains in the region and
the group’s continued pilfering of advanced military equipment,
particularly the surface-to-air missile systems known as MANPADS, short
for Man Portable Air Defense Systems.

On 02 September, we’ll be publishing our first online
intelligence training, IA 101: Introduction to Intelligence Analysis.
It’s free for everyone interested in what intelligence has to offer.
Each month after that, we’ll be publishing at least one new intelligence
course for a very affordable price. We’re teaching real, usable
intelligence skills that can be used starting immediately. Intelligence
is about reducing uncertainty about threats and about the future, and
our aim is to enable Patriots to reduce uncertainty in their own
situations.

Would you please help us in promoting it?

Our goal is to teach intelligence skills to as many Patriots and
Preppers as possible in our time remaining. We’ll also be doing some
live events; webinars with live lectures and Q&A sessions.

These courses are perfect for the older
folks who can’t “run and gun”. If they want to be a huge help, then
being the intelligence hub will pay great dividends. The only thing
better than resupplying a unit with a little food and a few extra rounds
is giving them an analysis of threat activity, their strength and
disposition, and a targeting package.

Execution of Colonel Ho Ngoc CanLast words: "If I won the war, I would not condemn you as you have condemned me.I would not humiliate you as you have humiliated me.I would not ask you questions that you asked me.I fought for the freedom of my people.I have merit and I am not guilty.No one can convict me.History will criticize you as my Communist enemy.You want to kill me, then kill me.Do not blindfold me.Down with the Communists.Long live the Republic of Viet Nam !"

Colonel CraigMandeville:

“They wanted the people to see that he was dead,” said Craig Mandeville, an American adviser to the South Vietnamese army who fought side by side with Can. “He was believed to be some sort of invincible guy. The North Vietnamese thought that, too, and I even thought that when I fought with him.”

“He said, ‘OK, the country’s fallen, but by God we’re still South Vietnamese and we’re free,’ ” Mandeville recalled. “So he went down to Chuong Tien province and rounded up all these soldiers down there to form a Free Vietnam.”

Col. Can didn’t live long after that, but the legacy of his struggle lives on.

==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
